Dear sir,

On 19' Apl 1861 You respited a fine against John A. Cannon in the Graves Equity & Criminal Court for $75 for Twelve Months the tim is now out and exectuion is in hands of Sheff. who is harrassing Cannon with it. he is a very poor man with a family dependent on him for support & has had his property taken from him by the armies it will almost be impossible for him to pay it I hope therefore that you will release all the fine execpt cost & Attys fees which he will make out to pay. this is a case which I think needs your interposition

Respectfully yours,
